"Madame is generous, Dening Pawnshop has thanked Madame here." The shopkeeper bowed.

After a few words of compliment to the second lady, she returned to the stage and began the auction of the next item.

"The next auction item is a pot of red coral trees."

"This red coral has a pleasant color and a smooth texture, it comes from the deep sea, it is a merchant from the south, and it is mortgaged in a pawn shop, which is absolutely rare in our north."

"Put it at home to make an ornament, look pleasing to the eye, now start bidding, the starting price is three thousand taels."

"Five thousand taels, the eldest son of the Haihui Chamber of Commerce will bid first."

"Seven thousand taels, the fourth son of the Ding'an Bo family shouted unhurriedly." He turned his head and glanced at the other party.

"Brother Hai, I'm sorry, my mother also likes this piece of red coral, and for the sake of filial piety, the younger brother can only be the one who can do it."

The man known as Hai Gongzi didn't care, and reached out to pose please.

"The rules of the auction house, the one with the highest price wins, the fourth prince has the intention to bid, let's compete fairly!"

After speaking, he shouted at the stage, "Eight thousand taels!" ”

"Nine thousand taels!"

"Ten thousand taels!"

The two of them fought for me, and in the end, the big pot of red coral was taken away by the merchant-born Hai Gongzi at a price of 15,000 taels.

"Humph!" The fourth prince snorted coldly, and looked at the surnamed Hai with dissatisfaction, "The Haihui Chamber of Commerce has a lot of financial resources. ”

"Prizes! Overpraise! Hai Gongzi grinned.

With these two openings, the next lot of auctions will be much more mediocre, ranging from one hundred taels to one thousand taels, until the auction arrives at a shop, and Song Qingyuan finally comes to the spirit.

Bai Yong whispered, "Owner, this is included in the few shops that the second master looked at before. ”

"The location is good and the shop is big, which is suitable for us to do business here."

"Hmm!" Song Qingyuan nodded, "I know, if you can, then take it down." ”

"The starting price is 1,000 taels." The auction house treasurer announced.

"Fifteen hundred taels!" A crisp voice rang out inside the auction house.

When everyone heard this, they looked over and whispered about it.

It was the second lady of the General Soldier's Mansion, who had a bold personality, and asked directly, "Which little girl is this, she looks so handsome." ”

"I haven't seen it in Liaodong Mansion, but we are from Liaodong Mansion?"

"Reply to Mrs., no!" Song Qingyuan nodded slightly.

"Giggles!" The second lady laughed wildly, and a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"The little girl is not big, but the shelf is very big."

Now in this Liaodong Mansion, there are only a handful of people who can't even afford to see her, this little girl is a fledgling, and she is very bold.

Hearing this, Song Qingyuan was stunned, the other party was just an aunt of the Liaodong General Army, she was a peasant girl named by the emperor, so naturally she didn't need to salute the other party. ”

But there is also a saying that the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, she, a small peasant girl, is really incomparable with the second aunt of the general soldier of Liaodong Mansion.

Thinking like this, Song Qingyuan got up and flicked slightly, "The girl is new to the city, and she doesn't understand the rules here, so please forgive this lady." ”

"Where did it come from?" The second lady raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Huai'an Mansion!" Song Qingyuan replied in a crisp voice.

"It turned out to be Huai'an Mansion, it's a good place, and the environment is better than our Liaodong Mansion."

"As the saying goes, the mountains and rivers show off the beauty, and the little girl is also a beauty."

As soon as the second lady's voice fell, the fourth son of Ding Anbo on the side spoke, "It's a little pretty, but it's a pity that I'm planning to open a shop, and I just happened to fall in love with this shop, I'm afraid I can't give in." ”

"Two thousand taels!" The fourth prince spoke.

Song Qingyuan frowned, he didn't count it, this small shop was just a small shop, and it actually attracted the four sons of Ding'anbo to fight.

Even if she is allowed to fight, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move forward in Liaodong Mansion in the future, and it will be difficult to do business.

Thinking like this, Song Qingyuan's heart of scrambling was extinguished, and he was about to give up.

"Three thousand taels!"

The deep voice sounded slowly, not loud, not strong.

At first glance, it doesn't even sound majestic, but it makes people feel that the imperative in the voice is inevitable and even cannot be refused.

Song Qingyuan was stunned, and his familiar voice followed everyone's gaze and turned his head to look back.

I saw a handsome and tall man standing by the door, with the color of a dusty servant.

Lord Xiao!

Song Qingyuan was startled and almost shouted.

At this time, shouldn't Lord Xiao be in the capital, why did he come to Liaodong Mansion.

Before Song Qingyuan could finish thinking about it, some people around him who were well-connected and knowledgeable had already gotten up one after another and saluted Xiao Jingduo.

"I've seen Lord Xiao! I've seen Xiao Jingduo! Including Hai Gongzi, the fourth son, and the second lady, they all stood up to greet Xiao Jingduo.

Xiao Jingduo glanced at it, ignored it, walked straight to Song Qingyuan, took off the cloak on his body, as if he had experienced it thousands of times, and naturally draped it on Song Qingyuan's body.

said, "Liaodong Mansion is not as good as Huai'an Mansion, the weather is cold, you are careful of catching a cold." ”

Song Qingyuan was a little stunned by this series of events, and her brain was dizzy, and when she reacted, she had already been taken to the chair before by Lord Xiao and sat down.

And Lord Xiao sat on her left hand, so to speak, shoulder to shoulder, making people look extraordinarily intimate.

Song Qingyuan understands that Master Xiao is making a scene for her, supporting her!

So he put his hair close to the direction of Lord Xiao, lowered it slightly, and asked quietly, "Why is the Lord here?" ”

A fragrant fragrance, with Song Qingyuan's movements, wafted into Xiao Jingduo's nose, and Xiao Jingduo's expression changed slightly.

The simple and neat answer, "Business trip!" ”

Business trip......

"Why did Lord Xiao come to the auction house?" Song Qingyuan chatted without a word.

"I heard that you came to the auction house, so I stopped by to have a look."

Song Qingyuan's scattered hair hung on Xiao Jingduo's shoulder, Xiao Jingduo swept away, and the chair did not move.

"I heard?"

Song Qingyuan's eyes blinked, and his smart eyes looked at Xiao Jingduo's dark eyes.

"Hmmm! Heard! Xiao Jingduo nodded.

"This business trip passed through Yulin County, passing by the Song family, I wanted to play a game of chess with you, but I heard that you came to the north, and it happened that my destination was also north, so I came."

Heard......

Just right......

Incidentally......

The more Song Qingyuan listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, how could she always feel that Master Xiao had come to her on purpose, but was it possible?

Lord Xiao is the boss of the brocade guard, busy with business, how can he go all the way to chase her little girl to play, Song Qingyuan was amused by his own thoughts.

On the other side, the shopkeeper of the auction house has respectfully handed over the title deed of the shop to Xiao Jingduo.

"My lord, this is a little bit of our auction house's heart, please ...... it"

The shopkeeper hasn't finished yet.
